Hi, I am new to vb.net and I am relatively new to programming in general. I am creating a windows form project in vb.net which uses a webcam to take a photo of a person. The photo is subsequently saved to a database. I won't have any problem saving it to the database but I haven't a clue where to start with using a webcam with vb.net. I know this question has been asked before and I have been doing a lot of looking around the internet for a solution I can understand but I am finding this very difficult. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
